155 West 78th Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

155 West 78th Street is a four-story, three-unit residential building located in Manhattan's Upper West Side, constructed in 1890 and currently owned by Edward Rothstein. The building has experienced recurring rodent-related issues over the past several years, with significant activity noted in 2021 when rat activity was confirmed during an April inspection and bait was applied in September.

However, more recent inspections show improvement in pest management, with the most recent rodent inspections in 2024 (July and August) both passing without issues. The building has been compliant with rodent inspections since 2022, with the exception of a temporary rat sighting reported in July 2024, which was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) but did not result in any violations.

Of particular note is the building's history with bedbug reporting requirements, with violations recorded in 2021 through 2024 related to the failure to file the required annual bedbug report. Despite these violations, the most recent bedbug report filed in August 2024 shows no infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units, covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023. The building's overall condition has shown recent improvement, with consistent "passed" results in both rodent inspections and bedbug reporting as of 2024, suggesting current management practices are maintaining acceptable pest control standards.
